Hello,
I just purchased a 2003 Yamaha 9.9 4 stroke and when I mounted it, there was engine oil leaking out of a small hole on the back of the lower unit. I checked the dipstick and kt was empty amd not reading. I took the spark plugs out and turned ths mktor over and there was some oil blowing out of the bottom spark hole. After pull starting it a couple times, the oil was all out by then. What is the small hole in the center back and also, did the previous owner maybe layed it on the wrong side? Thanks a bunch
